It’s pretty clear they cut costs, made the jerseys out of cheaper material and are using this “breathable” nonsense as an excuse for their cost cutting
The first time I agree with the yankee fan
@@kapo2012fb real
First time I agree with a Yankees fan.
they, MLB, Nike, Fanatics will never admit they screwed up
Yup. Smaller letters = less material and less cost. MLB logo below the collar means having to stitch it through just 1 instead of 2 layers of fabric. Wouldn't be surprised if that was a cost cutting measure as well
The fact that the players said they look cheap tells you everything you need to know. The players that “liked” the jerseys are the ones that have endorsement deals
the only ones I've seen that liked them were from the All Star game last year and they were just playing along because they wanted to have a good weekend and not cause trouble
Maybe it’s easier to be caught by AI, and to use the players likeness and movement for other entertainment. Stake holder design and economics, for what or who. Has to be something.
Hockey fans really care about the quality of their “sweaters,” so if you think this outrage is something, just waiting until the hockey jerseys come out…
For Real.... I will be the first one in line yelling... I have had issues with getting the Flyers jerseys I want in the sizes I need from that shit hole site Fanatics.. They never have stock.. It's time to break up this monopoly they have
Yeah Fanatics is so fucking shit for Hockey and the jersey quality has consistently crept downwards for years at this point.
I’m happy to see baseball fans calling this out, NBA and NFL fans never did.
These pants remind me of an old John Rivers joke.”not only can I tell his sex I can tell his religion”
The days of Sand Knit, McCallife, Rawlings, are gone. Those were the days of quality. Now, everything looks and feels like they’re made in Cambodia by child labor.
Because they are. It's all made as cheaply as possible to maximize profits.
It's all one fabric because it's dri fit adv, if you Google the world cup teams that used puma, new balance or Adidas were soaked in sweat.
But the Nike DRI fit adv one's were completely dry even in the desert
People need to just….. not buy these jerseys
They’re ugly
I remember Sand Knit MacGregor made the replica jerseys until 1987. My Father brought me my first jersey when I was 12. An Astros tequila sunrise replica for only $11.00. I remember Goodman and Sons made the authentics in the early to mid 1980's before Rawlings obtained the license to produce the authentic ones from 1987-1991.
Chinese Knockoffs
Dry fit is a bunch of crap. Petroleum based fabric used to be the cheap stuff in discount stores priced below cotton. All of the sudden cheap, static-producing petroleum is rebranded as “breathable”. 100% cotton is all but gone.
MLB games to have an TV-MA rating this season.
The Majestic Athletic jerseys were way better. I also miss the days when Russell manufactured the authentic ones when the jerseys cost less than $100.00 retail price. Oh how I miss the 90's.
Greedy greedy monopolies....that's what happens...and governments do not enforce the "unfair business act" laws...to protect the consumer.
@@loutorti3058 So true.
Adding the piping to the edge of the sleeves reminds me of when my mom added embroidered tape to the hem of my pants to make them longer when I outgrew them. It was a cheap stopgap and that is what this looks like to me.
As always, I appreciate your informative analysis on this, Brodie! 🙌🏼
I can’t wait for the first time someone slides into base and gets up with their pants split in 2😂
Baseball’s version of Monday Night RAW 😂😂😂
The new MLB uniforms don’t pass the eye test, they look cheap and out of proportion.
When I saw Goldschmidt’s last name on the back of his Cardinals jersey, it literally looks like a logo for the St. Louis arch. I’m hoping us fans can bring change to this situation
So just to recap the MLB headlines in the month of February...
1) MLB franchise doesn't know where they'll play from '25-'28.
2) Four of the top ten free agents remained unsigned.
3) Cheap jerseys.
...
4) Ohtani and Yamamoto on the Dodgers.
Great work MLB maintaining your momentum from last year's regular season! /s
it has not been great, that's for sure.
you forgot that 5 teams are threatening to move
@@garytrujillo4789 It's all about "greedy" owners....who expect taxpayers to build new parks so that THEY can benefit financially.
You can make a next generation jersey AND have it look good. But we've seen such a lack of quality control that it just comes across as cheap cost cutting. I hate it, names are misaligned, numbers are offset, the piping is different on same team's jerseys, no patches, the panty hose pants, and Fanatics' less than stellar reputation all scream cheapness. But we're expected to pay a premium for something you'd find at a beer league game
If it's already this bad for mlb, imagine the NHL jerseys for next season. I have seen holes in game-used jerseys that were being sold, so I wouldn't be surprised if their jerseys fully tear up in the middle of a game or during a fight
I just realized something. They are pretty much exactly like the NBA jerseys. If you look at the material it is the same, the numbers are perforated like the NBA numbers, and the last names are tiny with the horrific bend to them. I don't think nba players are complaining because they don't have sleeves with ugly cuffs on them. Also the nba logo on the back isnt pushed down like the mlb logo
I always wonder how the 2000’s era players would look in these fitted uniforms of today. Baggy era was funny for basketball lol. I always picture TJ Ford in his Bucks uniform, or AI
i heard elsewhere that before the first game between the Dodgers and Padre's more than one player chose to wear last year's pants.
Brodie, I think I saw you in the airport terminal last night in Oakland. I was in line for boarding my flight to LA. If it wasn’t for that, I was gonna walk up to you and thank you for your coverage on the A’s situation. As a Boston raised, lifelong Red Sox fan, I relate to your love of the A’s. You’ve made me an A’s fan and have reminded me of how much I love baseball. Thank you for what you do. I’m not gonna lie, I was a little starstruck when I thought I saw you 😂
Brodie is a nice guy, met him at the sharks fans road trip to Anaheim back around 2012
I love how all the players are calling the unis out as garbage, and the owner's and Manfred are like, "nah, you don't know what you're talking about, they're fine."
Nike and Fanatics have made a complete mess of this. It also makes MLB look amatuer. I am hoping the NHL is taking notes and watching this. They are a League that cannot afford bad press as much as the MLB.
They screwed up NFL too if anyone remembers
There is zero chance the NHL cares about anything other than the $$$ from the contract.
@@tracymoon4437 smaller market teams rely heavily on merch sales to make money....if sales fall the NHL will be hit harder than MLB or NFL.
Exactly,,it's about greedy companies increasing the price while decreasing the quality . That's what happens with monopolies....which are really illegal.
Cant wait until next year's NHL
Jerseys come out 😂
I got my wild jersey and gear in advance to lessen the blow lol
These honestly don't look much better than my kid's little league jerseys. The Verlander side-by-side was pretty telling.
I get that baseball is played in the summer, but majestic already came out with the Cool Base technology and the uniforms looked amazing. If the players wanted lighter and more breathability they would be wearing undershirts and sleeves every game. It’s trying to do too much to something that wasn’t broke.
Yeah, majestic was the bomb!
One thing that isn't being talked about yet is that beginning this year, the sponsorship logos are not uniform. It used to be a team might have secondary logo on one sleeve, and starting last year, they added the sponsor logos (Chevrolet in the Soler photo in this video, or Marathon on the Guardians uniforms, etc.) to the other. But now the sponsorship logo will be prevalent to the "forward facing arm" of the player (i.e. LHP will have it on his right sleeve, a RH batter on his left sleeve) so as to maximize the exposure of the sponsorship logo when on shown on TV. This just defeats the purpose of uniformity to me, and makes the uniforms look even more tacky than they already are with having the sponsorship logos on them.
They just all look cheap. They honestly look like uniforms I wore in Little League back in the 80s.
Just add the "Chico's Bail Bonds" advertisement and the look will be complete.😂😂😂
Those were probably better quality than these...@@janetracer
If it isn't broken, why try to fix it? These flabby taffeta uni's look like they'll get ripped to shreds after a few slides and it will be road rash city! One of the many reasons to loath them.
It's about GREED...Greed.....for Fanatics to increase their margins on the stuff they produce,,,,,,then Nike tacs on the BS about breathable material...and Nike pays athletes to BS the public...ALL Greed
They cut quality,premium feel,build quality period Oh and raised the prices. That’s it
Looks like they're trying to save money by using the same size font for every name regardless of length
good call
The Cardinals and Phillies no longer having chain-stitched wordmarks on their chests, the patches being smaller and lacking embroidery, even the names on the back of jerseys being smaller are all indicative of cost-cutting.
By removing steps and streamlining, standardizing and simplifying the manufacturing process, this saves Fanatics money, thereby, along with the price increase, making them even more money.
This is the Fanatics business model, that and handling the merchandising needs of just about every one of the major sports leagues. It's no accident the CEO of Fanatics is worth $11.5 billion.
These were all Nike’s decisions
@@tonyc8752 Who's been manufacturing the jerseys for Nike ever since they took over for Majestic?
@@jonathanchin3396 Nike choosestheir manufacture and hence the material.
@@tonyc8752 So Fanatics is blameless?
By the way, Nike has its own issues but Fanatics is primarily at fault in this situation.
AND has monopolized supply of sports merchandise.....another greedy owner who is cheapening quality to increase margins.....and fans are dumb enough to follow...
Manfred's/MLB's comment about the pants being made of the same material and thickness as last year's pants have to be total BS. This definitely wasn't a problem with last years uniforms as you said Brodie, Fanatics/Nike definitely changed something that made them far more see through than the previous ones
Barstool’s OUT OF ORDER sketch about the new uniforms is highlarious. You gotta watch it..!
I love the USA made Majestics, made in PA. Make, quality, colors, attention to detail, the patches had depth, creativity, well made, durable, i could go on. I'm a lifetime Cubs fan, saw first game in 1989. A jersey to most, are a after thought or nothing to get excited about. I see them, caps, gear, as a badge of honor. A real fan isn't determined by the jersey he wears, but I like to represent my city/team when I travel or move about the city. I will be 100 & still wear my Cubs/Hawks gear. That being said, the Cubs home jersey, is a simple but classy look, that Fanatics has made look like garbage. I saw what they did to the other teams, while i don't like the Cards, I feel for them if Fanatics doesn't chain stich the front logo on their jerseys. This has me worried for the Blackhawks sweaters, when Fanatics makes the NHL jerseys next season. Its a monopoly. I dont like that I DON'T HAVE ANY OTHER OPTIONS THAN FANATICS! Not cool. Great video. 🔥
eBay, baby! Get the old, good, authentic stuff while you still can!
Brodie!! come a long way since cal-hi sports! legend.
I was excited because my wife was going to get me a Tatis Jr and a Julio Rodríguez jerseys for my birthday, but after seeing all the changes I don't even want them anymore.. Sucks, I guess I'll get some shoes instead
I have both Elite jerseys for the Los Angeles Dodgers. The home jerseys I’m not a fan of;but the Road jerseys is pretty nice. I still prefer the Majestic template I think it fits nicely;but they were very long, new “24” they are a little shortened up. I don’t like how Nike shrunk the all the letters(team and players;but didn’t shrink the Nike swoosh)
Another genius Rob Manfred decision. When are we going to get rid of this guy?
The did what George Costanza said…they switched to cotton because it’s more breathable 😂😂😂
Gives a whole new meaning to watching bats and balls.
This sounds like it could be a great Curb Your Enthusiasm episode.
They all should've learned when Costanza tried to change the Yankees uniforms.
I strongly believe that the most important voice will be the consumer... There is a reason why Nike and Fanatics are paying MLB for the rights to produce their uniforms, they want to make the money from consumer sales. Who are the ones that are going to spend or not spend their hard earned money, the fans! The players can complain but they are getting paid to wear a uniform, their biggest gripe will be not being able to customize the fit but at the end of the day, they will play in what they are provided. The fans who have to dish out $400 for an "Authentic" piece of apparel are the ones these corporations are targeting so if you don't like and do not feel these are worth the $400 of your hard earned cash, don't spend your money on them and watch Nike and Fanatics do a 180!
I am NOT buying any of these new jerseys as there is now way they are worth it and neither should anyone else. This will make them fix this issue.
Some teams are having the issue addressed Royals played today and they look better.
The name size with Fanatics has been a problem on the non authentic jerseys for years. The “Kane” “Hertl” and others with short names just looked ridiculous.
Im glad I purchased jerseys back in the 90's and 2000s when the quality was unquestioned. I dont need another jersey, and wouldnt buy the new garbage even if I needed one, especially at that ridiculous price. MLB is destroying itself, not just in the uniform department.
One word: Profits
You know it’s bad when you can see the Nike logo on the compression shorts underneath the pants. It’s horrid.
Whatever you do, do NOT look at the Casey Schmitt photo in the new pants. You have been warned.
Why, if Fanatics wanted to cut down on the amount of different fabrics and instead make the shirt one uniform breathable fabric, did they feel the need to adjust the numbers, letters, logo, and patches? Sure, it still might have felt like a pajama top and the piping may have looked and felt cheaper and strange, but they may not have gotten so much negative attention. Because as of right now, not only do the uniforms look and feel cheaper on the first itself, but they look like Little League uniforms. Just a mess from Fanatics.
Nike made those decisions
The new uniforms are so revealing that Jose Altuve's wife would not let him wear them.
Where are they made?
We keep seeing it in sports, and so much more... it's nothing but cost cutting to increase profits. Executive compensation has never been higher. And profits have never been higher, despite "supply chain" problems. The only recourse fans have is to vote with their wallet.
Somebody at quality control was asleep when these jerseys went through the process.
they knew what they were doing....cheapen the product ....charge more...to increase their greedy bottom lines...
@@loutorti3058 I agree, I was thinking more of the name/logo placement.
Yeah, no ifs ands or buts about it. Nike is going cheap and paying Rob on the side.
Fanatics does the manufacturing and slaps a Nike logo on it.
@@j.r.weaver9110 That's what I meant by Nike going cheap
Did George Costanza have anything to do with the new uniforms?
Cleveland piping is bright white, jersey is cream. How did Fanatics and Nike mess this up so badly?
There have been documentation about the pants see through photos from last season. Claiming that it's social media lighting but was a problem last season too. It's all over X.
i've got before/after example video coming
Like Everything Else Now Adays........Make Them Cheaper, CHARGE THEM MORE.....sheeesh!
Only one problem- Fanatics!
One key detail continues to expose Nike’s lies about about making things like the patches have less detail for them to be lighter. Nike changed the MLB logo on the back of the jerseys from the previously used semi-reflective logo to the now 100% fabric logo that nearly completely matches the version that was being used on the replica jerseys. There is absolutely no advantage weight wise to move to the fabric logo. The only reason to do this is to make the logo out of a cheaper material. Also there appears to be an over all attempt to make the authentic jerseys look more like the replica jerseys and push more fans to those, which have gone up in price but also gotten cheaper.
Has Nike or Fanatics officially addressed any of this? I’ve seen/read many complaints about this issue, but nothing official from those being charged.
Oh, they never will. "I got my money, so fuck everyone" is the modern credo of every shitbag conglomerate.
Close your eyes and its matt vasgersian talking
i'll take that as a compliment
The equipment managers in spring training brought it up to their superiors and told to zip it.
A few months ago I heard rumors about the lettering for the player name and number being forced to fit into a size template for all teams and I knew this was 100% so they could pump out the jerseys in the same factory. Everything else I've heard just screams cost cutting. This is embarrassing. These are retail uniforms. Don't be fooled.
Disgraceful. An obvious money grab and a slap in the face to fans who already have to pay a premium to attend games.
Oh, the humanity!!!
I made it to the end of the video Brodie. Thanks for staying on this. I sure hope they fix it. Some things just should not be cheapened and one of those I think is the way MOB Player should look on the field.
Mostly a lot about nothing. The new jerseys look fine to me. However, see-through pants would be a bad look. Previous uniforms (I've worn them) were pretty uncomfortable and 100% heavy polyester. They were designed for durability more than anything. I would have preferred a lighter jersey back then. The pants were good, durable and cleaned easy.
The guardians players were wearing different jerseys, one the older and one the newer
The piping is gone and it's now a cuff
They make more money by making cheaper jerseys and charging the same amount. Per normal is always is it’s always about the Benjamin’s.
Yeah those pants are too thin. Seriously. At least the Yankees don't have to worry about the name plate issues.
They’re forcing the players to wear smaller jerseys, you ask for the same size, but it’s smaller, just like when the NBA eradicated baggyness.
What about an issue with Ai, and that there is something about the material and style of the uniforms that allows the players action and body movement and body parts to be more easily read by a camera lens. If that is true, that would be abusing the player, and actually aren’t they really? If these were female players they would be having a fit. There is no reason for them to be cheap. I has to be easier to pick up the stats and use the players likeness for other entertainment purposes, they are not sharing with the players.
They look OK, but they do not look Major League! They look cheep for sure. Watching the Tigers Mets game. The Tigers away uniforms have a gray shirt and gray pants. The shirt and pants are a different color. The gray is not the same.
These jerseys just look like cheap knockoffs. It’s not just small lettering and thin fabric. For example. Look what they did to the Phillies logo across the front. Now it’s tackle twill instead of embroidery. It’s cheap. That’s all there is to it. MLB needs to demand they fix all of this. Majestic was so much better.
It's not going to change, MLB and all major sports have been giving the fan the middle finger for decades now. They don't care what the fan thinks. Rob Manfred said "get used to it" and that tells you all you need to hear about what they think of the fans.
Fans will still pay for it. We are part of the problem
Although i dont ever recall buying baseball pants to attend a game😂
What?? I couldn’t get into the stadium without pants 😂
@@alfjgist lmao got me there
Sounds like Nike and Fanatics are seriously cutting corners. I hate to think what they've got in store for the NHL jerseys next year. The biggest question is how did MLB willingly sign off on these?
MLB should move to correct this, or at least say they're trying to fix it. Fanatics should be embarrassed.
Why does a baseball cap cost $45 if they’re cutting costs.
cutting production costs... to make a larger profit.
The low-grade clothes we now get in department stores has infiltrated the billion dollar sports leagues.
They’re putting out tshirts and pajama pants and calling it technical or ‘breathable’
So are they going to keep these cheap thin jersey when the weather gets cooler?
Just go back to last seasons Jerseys
I'm a huge Cubs Fan! I've wanted to buy a Morel Jersey for over a year! But I won't buy anything from fanatics or nike! The nfl jerseys have been bad!! And honestly horrible!
The middle level of jerseys that Nike/Fanatics are offering are a problem that you should acknowledge. They've raised the prices from $139 to $179 and provide a cheaper and worse product. That's not good for fans. Who's on our side?
Bottom line is the new jerseys are extremely cheaply made. The lighter and more breathable is just branding. They are made out of thin poly. If I understand other things I've read there are only 4 select sizes. The older jerseys did have a very complex manufacturing process and embroidery. With these, everything is just digitally printed on the fabric, that is why it has no texture, its printed from a digital render not embroidered and why everything looks a little off. It is just like the Halloween costumes you may see on your Facebook feed or anything on ali express drop shipped from China. They are the cheapest of the cheap manufacturing process. Again, they are literally the same stuff you can order from Ali express for 20 bucks. No need to buy an official cause the knock off you can customize from China is the exact same thing! It'll cost 120 or more less too!
Brodie, IMO the jerseys have been going in this direction for a while. My standard Phillies game jersey features stitched logo, name, and applicable patches, my "replica" jersey had a SINGLE what I'd describe as a decal of the team's name, sewn on to the front...and this was still the "Majestic" years when I got these. So I think these "steps" as you describe or phases have been in place for a while, we just haven't seen it hit the players end until this year. It's obviously a way for Fanatics to cut costs, maybe due to Covid and increases in costs and lack of supply chains? It seems to hit every industry and textile manufacturing isn't immune. Spring Training is more of a "casual" experience anyway, but if these should move North with teams to begin the season there's going to be multiple issues, especially for teams' further north who may find heavy winds, rain, snow and other adverse conditions that always accompany the beginning of a season. Not that I have "sympathy" for Fanatics but as a business, I can't see them implementing so MANY changes THIS season,...unless they were forced to by costs, vendors or other factors such as availability. In short, it certainly increases the "value" more of my previous purchases more than any this season. I'll know by Tuesday! The ONLY jersey I got this year is Ohtani's Dodgers home Elite, with the curled font and $175 OOP.
I think you have to fix both on field and retail, when people buy this stuff they aren't gonna want this garbage and that's gonna hurt their bottom line.
Quality instead of quantity 🤦🏻♂️Nike fanatics repping us off!!!
Amazing a sport that just handed out 3/4 of a billion dolllars to a player aslo cheaps out on the jersey to put him in 😅
These are horrible, normally I would never notice any details that Brodie pointed out. In this case breathable = on the cheap!
I don't get why fanatics are allowed to be a monopoly. Their quality gets worse every year and their prices are insane
Imagine this is the way you earn a living (and trying to make the issue sound as if it is the most important issue in the world)?
Jerseys are a dumpester fire go back to the old style
About a mile of an old dusty road way down yonder on Australia, a sheep farmer tells his wife and family that they will no longer be able to sustain their farm anymore.
Its because of those damm polyester fabrics. we cant compete with them anymore!
A teardrop is seen running down the cheek of his daughter who comes to realize her days of riding her pony says tonher dad. You mean we gotta leave the farm???
Bring back the old school wool jerseys. Embroidered logos thicker materials, quality stuff without cutting the costs of this modern day crap that is so prevalent these days. Diminutive lettering and stupid city comnect colors...yellow in Boston WTF?
What's next synthetic dirt? Plastic bats? The only thing that's real anymore is pur hard earned money going into the pockets of corporate America and they are laughing their asses off at us.
The only aspect of why there is such a quality difference is because of money. They thought they could get away without notice. Got caught and now we watch them weasel out. These jerseys are straight dookie.
Personally… I just don’t care.. but that’s because having worked in the industry and had family in the industry… the amount of $$$$ that ends up as profit is staggering and I don’t have to wear them.. The fact that it sounds like they’ve cut expenses in making them.. just means more profit… and with UFA’s today.. hard to root for 1 player with a jersey only to see him walk in a few years and now you have a jersey for someone who don’t wear that jersey anymore..
Just get Jose altuve to say his wife won’t like it and it will be all fixed
The Leagues allowing commercial patches on uniforms needs to go away! Baseball is not soccer. Outfield signs is for ads, not uniforms.
The Mets jersey blue colour is bad.
